Hi, After the discussion with you folks in this mailinglist, today I tried to Install FreeBSD.=20 While Partition Creation Screen(DiskLabel Editor), I am seeing 2 issues. 1. In the normal x86 installation, sysinstall first create the Slice in the selected Disk and then it will goto DiskLabel Editor to create partitions on the slice. I couldn't see this step in IA64 install. It skips the Slice creation and directly Goes to Partition creation Screen. What is the reason behind this?=20 2. In the current partition creation(disklabel editor) screen, I can see only EFI partition as 100MB size. Actually I already has RedHat AS 2.1 installed on this machine. But that ext2 & swap partition are not displayed at all. Will sysinstall/IA64 doesn't understand Linux & other Oses(windoz)?=20 In other way, how can I dual boot Linux & FreeBSD on PE3250? Last week while doing autopartitioning it corrupted my existing Linux Partition (ie: It occupied the entire disk except the EFI partition). At that time I didn't noticed it, so I was wondering what went wrong. Now I got the glitch. Any pointers? Thanks. --T. Muthu Mohan
